Third siren of the day in Jerusalem.

Day 34 of the U.S.-Israel war against Iran. (Taken near Ramallah, in the Israeli-occupied West Bank. Pretty sure the giant metal tube is part of an Iranian ballistic missile that was fired towards nearby Jerusalem…)

Alert already over. Heard one boom overhead - likely the sound of an interception? - just before the siren…

A giant of a human.

🇺🇦 Yesterday, Russia unleashed nearly 1000 drones at Ukraine. On top of killing people in Zaporizhzhia, Poltava, Kharkiv & Ivano-Frankivsk, it also destroyed part of Ukraine's and the world's cultural heritage in Lviv. 🎥 My take with @annettef24.bsky.social 👇 www.linkedin.com/posts/emmanu...

Last year, donors in the United States produced 62.5 million liters of plasma, the highest volume ever collected and an 8 percent increase from the year before, said Peter Jaworski, a professor at Georgetown University @nicktsergas.ca www.nytimes.com/2026/03/20/b...

As oil prices rise, sanctions are put on pause, and the U.S. and its allies use up the supply of Patriot missiles that could be used to defend Ukraine, the Iran war has one clear winner so far - Russia. My analysis

Now this from @nytimes.com. Just the latest installment in this meta-story.

Shigeaki Mori, the hibakusha survivor of the August 1945 U.S. atomic bombing of Hiroshima who was embraced by then-U.S. President Barack Obama in 2016, died Saturday at the age of 88.

“Precision.” What a curious word for the BBC to use to describe a campaign that has killed more than 1,400 Iranians… The statistics on the right are from the Iranian Health Ministry (via Al-Jazeera).

So this is going well...

Hey White House press corps - can someone please call BS on that ramble about Trump saving us from nuclear holocaust??

Twenty years after the suburbs of Beirut were first devastated, the “Dahiya Doctrine” - which some call collective punishment - has become a feature of Israel’s wars in Gaza and elsewhere. Now it’s come back “home,” as Dahiya is the casualty of another Israel-Hezbollah war. My report
